I finally finished this piece for a customer. It was more the design of the wire wrap and finger ring that took the time. Stats:
18g 3/16" AA, 20g 1/8" BA for the bracelet, chains and top of the ring
20g 5/32" for the HP4in1 ring shank . . . which I realize now you can't see.

Unfortunately I could only find this color pick in the "thin" size since Fender color codes their sizes. So, to strengthen it a bit I sprayed some acrylic coating on it, which gave the pick some shine but gave the wire a sort of matte finish. The wire design is supposed to imitate a sound wave.

Thanks MusicMan, Jax I definitely thought about using holes to put it together, but I knew it would look awful plain. I think using holes for the wrap would have been even trickier. I had to use my jig just to get the top pair of loops symmetrical. The wire is Beadalon square wire "nickel-free, silver plated".
